Zabbix MCP Server — manage Zabbix with AI assistants (open source)

[hermanekt]

Hi everyone,

we've released an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects any AI assistant to the Zabbix API. It covers all 58 API groups
(225 tools) — hosts, problems, triggers, templates, dashboards, SLAs, and everything else.

What you can do with it:
- "Show me all unacknowledged problems with severity High or above"
- "Create a maintenance window for host db-01 for 2 hours"
- "Export the template 'Template OS Linux' as YAML"
- "What changed in the last 24 hours?" (audit log)

Works with Claude Code (recommended), OpenAI Codex, VS Code + Copilot, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients. Supports Zabbix 5.0 through 8.0 (experimental).
Security: read-only mode by default, bearer token auth, IP allowlist, TLS, rate limiting.

Fantastic project!
It’s impressive to see how, together with Claude, it manages to “understand” the data and put it into context even without being given any additional information.
I installed it in a Docker container outside the Zabbix system, so I could keep it isolated for testing, and it worked without any issues.
It uses quite a lot of tokens, but it’s truly amazing. Congrats, great job!
